beats Texas tornados


 I returned to Half Moon Bay yesterday to visit with the Blogmaid's mother and Mr. Blogmaid too. He fixed us lunch and we had a stroll down by the ocean. The air was so clear and really, it seems like another world down there. So beautiful and serene.

great price & purple rice



 I met Terri at the Farmhouse on Florida Street yesterday for a feast of Thai food and lots of good catch-up conversation. Their taster menu was $28 and included all sorts of unusual flavors and we started with a sweet and sour soup, not pictured here. On these colorful plates you see fried chicken, samosa, pork, curry and spring rolls ~ all with superb sauces. Thanks to Terri for suggesting this restaurant after reading my blog post when I passed by here the other day. Yay.

a cast of wonderful women



 What fun. Apple TV gives us Carol Burnett, Kristen Wiig (genius), Laura Dern, Allsion Janney ~ just to name a few. Palm Royale is set in 1969 when feminism was just taking hold, even in fancy Palm Beach, Florida. This series is a delight and even includes Laura's father, Bruce Dern. Enjoy.

busy day on the lake


 There were all sorts of regatta (right word?) high school races yesterday out at Lake Merced where Neti and I walked yesterday. Such a gorgeous day, our reward for the very wet winter here. We had a snack at the Harding Park golf course restaurant and solved most of the world's problems in a very short time.

my city last night


 It's been clear and beautiful here lately and I snapped a photo on my iPhone to send to the Blogmaid, sort of showing off the solar lights on my back deck. Then I realized that I am a bit spoiled to see this SF show almost every night. Well, except for the fog of course. Yes, that will happen all too soon, but until then we have this. Not bad.

the Jewseum on Friday





 My favorite (other then the bagel and lox lunch) was the bright pink/red/orange Star of David. I met Bev at the Contemporary Jewish Museum and learned a lot about neon art yesterday. It is almost as much about science as it is about art. Fascinating. We had both been warned by friends about protesters, but there weren't any there and it was a smooth a really interesting adventure.
